The Law of Torts: Examples and Explanations (Examples & Explanations Series)

I would recommend this aid to any student taking Torts and finding it difficult to grasp certain topics (that's almost everyone!). I used this book to refer to when I was having trouble understanding a specific topic, and the detailed - but easy to understand explanations helped. Also, there are questions at the end of each topic you can quiz yourself on and then answers are provided for you to check your response against. But one of the most valuable parts of this book was the end where the author, well known and respected in the field of torts law, provides tips for taking a torts exam. The author is a torts professor and discusses many of the common mistakes his students make. Overall, a wonderful book!

This book was incredibly helpful in breaking down torts. I particularly appreciated the chapters on causation. I plan on buying all of the examples and explanations books as supplements to my course readings for next semester as well.

This book was extremely helpful and accessible for illustrating general doctrine; however, although it discusses a smattering of major cases (e.g., Palsgraf) and other minor cases that may or may not appear in your torts textbook, it does not provide substantial depth for these cases and does not address important dissents (such as Andrews' dissent in Palsgraf), so you shouldn't attempt to rely on it for that purpose. You could easily get through torts without this book, but given the nature of law school curves, why not give yourself every advantage?

Torts and Property are the top two E&E books in terms of how helpful they are in covering complex topics for the 1st year law student. This book's layout matches almost perfectly with most torts courses, and the essay exam practices were the most helpful for my finals. Probably the best of the E&E series.

Found this very helpful in reviewing the course before my Torts exam, recommend strongly...
